Enough with the family already.

Cork O'Connor is once again the sheriff of Tamarack County and when a bullet meant for him sends one of his officers to the hospital instead, Cork is determined to find the culprit, but his time is split between cases. A man working to secure a management contract with the local casino was found murdered out on lover's lane not two nights after the attack on Cork.

Two strange cases in two days. For a man who doesn't believe in coincidence, Cork can't believe these two occurrences aren't related, but he can't see how they could be either. Not until the dead man's brother comes out to Aurora to pick up the body and Cork finds out he was once engaged to his wife. The temps may be cooling off in Tamarack County, but the intrigue is just getting ready to heat up.

I like these books and am continuing through the series. The ending is what keeps this from being a five star read for me. It trails off more than it ends. Maybe I'll get closure in the next book, but I don't like that. I want things settled. I'm also tired of things happening to his family.

Great Series!

I enjoy every book in this series. I love the way you get to know all the characters from book like family!

Plot twists

Interesting story , like the history about the culture, the person reading the book is well spoken.

Another mystery triumph

it's has more twists than a spiralized zucchini. The characters,as always, are so well drawn. The family realistic and loveable. And enough actions for an"action" Movie or TV series. Start with the first book in the series. I promise you won't stop until you've read them all.

I love the twists and turns of the story

The end is a surprise! His books are very easy to follow. I also love series of books with the same characters to relate the stories to. It makes you feel like you truly know the characters inside and outside. I really can’t wait to read more and more of his books.
